Maternal Emotion Regulation: Links to Emotion Parenting and Child Emotion Regulation

Type
Summary

Mother-child dyads participated in a self-report and observational study examining the associations between mothers' emotional regulation, parenting behaviors, and children's emotion regulation. Observed maternal emotion regulation was negatively associated with unsupportive parenting. Self-reported maternal emotion dysregulation was positively associated with unsupportive parenting and child emotion dysregulation.
